Josh Hutcherson is asterisk inFive Nights at Freddy ’s , a new horror movie that also mark his first onscreen role sinceFuture ManandBurnin 2019 .

I think it’s safe to say that 2023 has turned into the year where we all collectively goback to ourThe Hunger Gamesphase— and honestly, I never left that phase, so I am thriving.

Between the upcoming release ofThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the 10th anniversary of theCatching Firefilm, and allThe Hunger Gamesmovies and books beingbeloved on TikTok, it’s the year to talk about this franchise as well as the actors.

WhileJennifer Lawrence,Liam Hemsworth,Sam Claflin,Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, and many more have starred in countless movies and shows sinceThe Hunger Gamesfilms, fans have been desperate to seeJosh Hutchersonin another role.

His last major acting credit was between 2017 and 2020 when he starred in the underrated, but hilarious, Hulu seriesFuture Man. And his last movie role was in 2019’sBurn.

Since then, he’s filmed a lot of projects that have not been released yet, and he’s voiced Shinjiro Hayata in the English version ofUltraman.

And even if you’ve wanted to keep up with Josh outside of his film and TV roles, his social media presence ispretty much non-existent.

Anyway, that’s all to say that yesterday the first teaser trailer for the upcoming supernaturalhorror movieFive Nights at Freddy’sdropped, and the internet went wild over seeing Josh again:

Five Nights at Freddy’sis directed by Emma Tammi and written by Tammi, Scott Cawthon, and Seth Cuddeback. It’s based on the video game franchise of the same name and follows Mike Schmidt (Hutcherson), a security guard who starts a nighttime job at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, an abandoned pizza place with arcade games and more.

Soon, Mike discovers that some of the animatronic mascots move and attack anyone that is still there after midnight. What ensues is a wild, haunted good time, that I, for one, can’t wait to watch.

Alongside Josh, the film also stars Matthew Lillard, Mary Stuart Masterson, Piper Rubio, Kat Conner Sterling, Elizabeth Lail, and more.

And, aside fromFive Nights at Freddy’s, Josh’s other upcoming movie,Across the River and Into the Trees, which is based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway, was justacquiredby Bleecker Street for release literally yesterday.

So, it looks like we’ll be getting a lot more of Josh soon, and as someone who consistently says that Josh was my first celeb crush — dating all the way back toLittle Manhattan(IYKYK) — I’m super excited for Josh’s return.
